A new outpost of New York-based upscale Chinese cuisine restaurant Philippe Chow will open in Cummins Station this Friday, Oct. 17.

An outpost of the brand known for its Peking duck and white-jacketed service, the Nashville restaurant occupies the space last home to M. Market and some smaller adjoining spaces. The 8,212-square-foot space — with an address of 209 10th Ave. S., Suite 235 — saw a build-out cost of more than $6 million, Nashville Business Journal previously reported.

Philippe Chow specializes in multiple dishes featuring seafood, green prawns, spare ribs, filet mignon, Peking duck, satays, noodles and dumplings.

Nashville is the fourth U.S. location for the brand, which focuses on Beijing-style cuisine.

Philippe Chow parent company Merchants enlisted architectural firm 3877 (co-based in New York and Washington, D.C.) to give the Nashville Philippe Chow an “opulent blend of glamor and sophistication,” according to a release.

Merchants bills itself as one of New York’s largest privately held restaurant owners. The company operates 17 restaurants in the city, including Treadwell Park (multiple locations), Merchants Cigar Bar, Industry Kitchen, Watermark Bar & Lounge and Mezze on the River.
